Route description

SC 385 is a two-lane (mostly) rural highway, traverses 11.7 miles (18.8 km) from Bennettsville north to SC 79, near the North Carolina state line.[2]

History

The first SC 385 appeared around 1941-42 as a new primary route from SC 341 to U.S. Route 15 (US 15)/SC 34. In 1948, it was downgraded to a secondary road.

The current SC 385 was established between 1968-70 as a renumbering of SC 79 from US 15 Business (US 15 Bus.)/US 401 Bus. in Bennettsville to current SC 79. Around 1990, it was extended south, replacing US 15 Bus./US 401 Bus. through downtown Bennettsville to its current terminus at US 15/US 401.[3]
